Robbery suspect sought

The Borger Police Department and Hutchinson County Crime Stoppers are needing the help of the community in solving an aggravated robbery that occurred last Friday. On Friday, Sept. 9, 2011, a female victim, who was not identified, was at a garage sale in the 300 block of North Harvey Street. As she was getting ready to leave, she was approached by a black male identified as wearing a white t-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. The black male suspect offered to help the victim load her purchased items into the vehicle. After loading the items into the victim’s vehicle, the suspect asked her for a ride and she agreed to do so. The victim gave the suspect a ride to the corner of McGee and Crockett Street.
